North Dakota Information Technology Department (ITD)PDF of 2013-2015 Budget Guidelines for Toolset Upgrades
The ITD Software Development Division supports many software development tools and languages. ITD upgrades to new versions of our tools and languages on a regular basis. This prevents obsolescence of customer applications. Upgrades generally involve re-compiling applications using the newest version of the tool or language, then unit testing the application. The time required to upgrade varies, depending on the tool being upgraded and the severity of the upgrade.
Following is a list of software components that will likely need upgrades in the 2013-2015 biennium. We’ve provided a budgeting estimate of the average time required to upgrade each tool and language. We ask that customers budget for the anticipated number of upgrades per biennium. Please contact your Software Development team leader to determine which of these technologies you may use.
